economy, obviously. you might have climate change. >> right. >> the foreign policy, the restructuring if you like of america's place in the world, taking on where barack obama has taken it so far. very interesting. perhaps leading from the back as he said in certain cases rather than from the front. i think the days of america having to be the global policeman should be over. what else do you see as priorities? >> immigration reform. the president feels strongly about we'll tackle this year. everyone out there understands our system is broken. and we need some fundamental restructuring of it. right thing to do. there's common sense agreement out in the states on how to do it. people putting politics aside. i think you will see the president in the second term work passionately across party lines on education to make the k-12 system the best in the world like the university system is. you hit the biggest one, that's the economy. we have to continue to take the steps -- >> does everything flow from the eco

we're competing in a global economy, and i want to do the best that i can for our citizens. neil: governor, if you get rid of the exemptions and everything else and the sales tax side, you are not rising the sales tax? the rate, itself, stays the same? >> that's right. the rate stays the same. over the years, we've granted more exemptions than we collect in sales taxes, and that's unfortunate. there were reasons we may have done that over the years, but it no longer makes sense. we need a tax code that's simpler, fairer, and modern, and leaders in the state want simplicity and fairness. they are tired of having their wyers and accountants mind the tax code for exemptions rather than the marketplace. they want to be able to compete, and i want to create a better environment for them, nd that helps our citizens. neil: neil, i'm for an efficient tax system, but i recognize we need taxes obviously, and i'm just wondering whether it borders on irresponsible when there's so many republicans, yourself including, bobby in louisiana, and governor bob mcdonald and getting rid of the g

that's a direct threat and the hostage is the entire economy. we will default and if we default, we will have a depression. a real depression and the interest rates will spike on every public and private loan. we will have a mass unemployment like now. now. i love the mafia analogies. keep it up. the sandy relief bill. this is not supposed to be politicized. 179 republicans in the house vote against it including people from louisiana, mississippi, alabama and gulf states y. did it become so politicize and have a hard time getting through? >> i don't know. maybe it's because it's the first time that we had disaster relief of a large amount since this congress got elected. certainly there was a list of something like 67 members and asked for and voted for and demanded the rein their states for natural disasters hit in the midwest and the gulf coast and so forth and refused to vote for it now. no rational answer to that. i like to believe it's not because they are prejudice against new york or the northeast. it's hard to reach such say conclusion.
